DescriptionTyres were built in two stages, on different machines; cylindrical first-stage covers were thrown onto the arms of this pattern of carousel, and taken off by second-stage builders; their machines, like the Pirelli T 10 in the background, inflated the tyre to near its final diameter, and added the belts (originally textile, later, steel) and tread rubber.Date Taken2007
